7 eye-popping stats from the Rams' 51-17 win over the Giants

Everything went Los Angeles’ way on Sunday against the Giants as the Rams blew Ben McAdoo’s team out of its own stadium, 51-17. The offense played its best game of the season, connecting on six plays of 35 yards, while the defense shut down Eli Manning and New York’s receiving corps.

There were too many big plays to highlight, so we’ll take a look at a handful of staggering stats that came out of Sunday’s win.

2. They scored more points Sunday than they had in all of November 2016

In four November games last season, the Rams scored a total of 50 points, going 0-4 in those contests. On Sunday, the Rams put up 51 points in 60 minutes, absolutely dominating the Giants in every facet of the game.

The Rams have scored 51 points. They scored a total of 50 points in four November games last season.

3. The Giants couldn’t touch Jared Goff

The Giants are known for having one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL, and while they were without Olivier Vernon, the Rams did an incredible job protecting Goff. New York didn’t record a single hit on Goff Sunday, the first time all year he hasn’t been hit.

Don’t forget, Goff was sacked 26 times in seven games last season. This year, the Rams have allowed just 10 sacks.

The #Giants did not record a single hit on Jared Goff, according to @PFF. Wow. Just wow. No wonder Goff had a 146.8 QB rating.

4. Goff posted the ninth-highest passer rating in Rams history

Goff had a career day, completing 14 of 22 passes for 311 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. His passer rating was nearly perfect, posting a mark of 146.8. That’s the ninth-highest passer rating in franchise history, and obviously the best of Goff’s career.

Kurt Warner owns the two highest passer ratings in Rams history, and four of the top eight. Goff now has two games with a rating above 145, which only three other quarterbacks can say (Warner, Roman Gabriel and Jim Everett). That’s with a minimum of 20 attempts.

Jared Goff now has 2 games with a passer rating above 145. Only 3 other QBs in Rams history can say that (min. 20 attempts) #LARams

5. Sammy Watkins records Rams’ longest TD catch in 5 years

When Goff hit Watkins for a beautiful 67-yard touchdown, a collective sigh of relief was felt among Rams fans. It was a perfectly thrown pass as Watkins tracked it deep down the field. It was the longest touchdown catch by a Rams player since Lance Kendricks caught an 80-yard touchdown on Dec. 23, 2012.

6. Andrew Whitworth didn’t allow a single pressure for the fourth time

For the fourth time this season, Whitworth was perfect. He didn’t allow a single sack, quarterback hit or even pressure on Sunday, which is remarkable. He’s been everything the Rams hoped he’d be, and then some. Goff is the biggest beneficiary of L.A. signing the veteran this offseason.

7. Goff and Carson Wentz make draft-pick history

This isn’t a stat exclusive to the Rams, but it is pretty remarkable. Goff and Wentz became the first quarterbacks taken first and second overall in the same draft to throw four touchdown passes each on the same day. Their combined stats looked like something you’d see in Madden: 29-for-49, 510 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions.

Today marks 1st time in NFL history in which QBs selected No. 1 and 2 in same NFL Draft – Goff and Wentz – each threw 4 TDs on same day.
